Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage T4 recombination "hotspots" were first detected by the rescue of genetic markers from UV-irradiated phage particles. These hotspots have since been detected following treatments that yield other forms of DNA damage, and at least one is active in the absence of damage. The previous mapping of phage replication origins near the peaks of two recombination hotspots suggested that the origins cause the...
